Specification of Letters Patent. Patented Dec. 18, 191 '7.

Application filedSeptember 30, 1915. Serial No. 53,348. I

An object of the present invention is to privide a new and improved heating structure that is especially designed to be used in connection with the ordinary form of gas.

fixture and which is so constructed as to effectually support a coflee pot, kettle or the; like utensil in a manner that the contents of the utensil may be heated, and thus providing a very useful article that may be used regularly or only in the case of emergency.

Another object of the invention is to provide a device of the above nature that is so constructed whereby it may be used. at certain times, as a heating stove, and includes means in the form of collapsible legs forsupporting the same and means for establishing connection with a tube from the gas fixture.

A further object of the invention is to provide a device of the type in question that is extremely simple in construction and Which,

it is believed, may be manufactured at a minimum cost.

Various other objects and advantages will become apparent during the continuance of the following description.

The above and other objects which will become apparent, are accomplished by such means as areshown in their preferred form in the accompanying drawings, described in the following specification and then more specifically pointed out in the appended claim.

In the accompanying drawings wherein like characters designate like parts throughout the several views;

Figure 1 is a plan view of my invention showing the same attached to a gas fixture of substantially the conventional form.

Fig. 2 is a sectional view taken on line 2-2 of Fig. 1.

Fig. 3 is a view in bottom plan of the device as used as a heating stove, and showing the collapsible legs thereon.

Fig. 4 is an enlarged detail view of a gas fixture including a pillar on which my improved heating structure is mounted.

In the drawings the numeral 10 designates the gas fixture which is of substantially the conventional form and which carries a.

bracket 11 for attachment to the wallor other support. Of course this type of fixture 1s merely shown for sake of illustration and it is to be understood that my invention 1s not limited in any way to usein'connection therewith.

' The device of my invention consists ofan elongated or trumpet-shaped body portion 12 which is tapered slightly toward one end wardly and formed with a. distributing plate having a series of perforations la there-' through. At its constricted end, the body' 12 has connectionwith an air intake tube 15 as at 16. Thetube lois provided with an opening 17 which communicates with its bore, the said opening serving toadmit air to be mixed with the gas'passmg through the tube. The tube is in turn supported upon a valve chamber 18 which is carried by a feed pipe 19.

Any form of controlling valve may be mounted in the valve chamber 18 for the purpose of controlling the flow of gas therethrough, but in the drawings I have shown an ordinary plug cock 19' for this purpose. The plug cock may be actuated by a handle 20. The main feed pipe 19 carries a nipple 20 at one end which may have connection with one end of a gas conducting tube, in the event that the device is not used directly in connection with the gas fixture. How-.

ever when the same is used in the embocli ment shown in Figs. 1 and 2, this nipple will not be used.

A pipe 21 has connection with the main feed pipe 19 and isbent at its free end as shown at 22 in order to be received within the gas pillar 10 of the fixture after the tip has been removed. Any suitable means may be employed for adjusting the pipe 21 within the pillar and holding the same in certain rigid positions. However in the drawings I have shown such means as indicated by the numerals 23 for this purpose.

Passing again to the construction of the body 12. it will be noted that the same car ries an upstanding lip 24 (see Fig. 2) which supports a spider 25 above the perforated mouth of the body. The spider may be connected to the lip by such means as shown at 26. Consequently it provides for effectually supporting a coffee pot or kettle above the perforated end of the body so that the contents of the utensil may be quickly heated.

'65 as at 13 while its flared end is turned up- Referring .now to Fig. 3, it will be noted that the spider carries a plurality of depending lugs 27 to which are pivotally connected supporting legs 28, by trunnions 29. It will also be noted that the body portion 12 of the device is made considerably shorter than in the preferred embodiment and does not have any direct connection with the air intake pipe 15. In this form the free end of the intake pipe 15 is spaced from theadjacent open end of the body 12 so as to permit air to be drawn into the body 12 through passage of the gas therethrough. Further it will be understood that in this form the tube 15 has direct communication with the main feed pipe 19 which is, incidentally, supported upon the spider through the medium of 5. fastening member 30. In this form the main feed pipe 19 is preferably curved to conform with the contour of the spider instead of being formed comparatively straight as shown in Fig. 1. In this latter form, the tube from the gas fixture may be connected to the nipple 20. Hence the gas may be passed through the main feed pipe into the body 12.

From the foregoing it is believed that the advantages and novel features of my invention will be readily understood and there fore further detailed description is deemed unnecessary.

Both forms of my invention as illustrated herein have proven very satisfactory and it is to be understood that either form maybe used if it is desired.

Having thus fully described my inven tion, what I claim as new and desire to secure by Letters Patent is:

A gas burner comprising a substantially trumpet-shaped device provided with means for admitting air and gas into its smaller end and formed with a perforated distributing plate closing its flared end, said device also being formed with a supporting arm which extends beyond the flared end of the device, and a spider supported by said supporting arm over said flared end and in spaced relation to said distributing plate.

In testimony whereof I aiiix my signature in presence oftwo witnesses.
